The Dangers of Porn

As a Social Media Pastor I feel that I’m often trying to ease people’s fears of the internet and make them more comfortable browsing the web. I get excited to share that Social Media websites have passed Pornography as the top viewed content online. While I do believe that there is great value for people to connect online, I also believe that there are great dangers as well that we should not avoid discussing.

Pornography is incredibly dangerous and destructive. The statistics are alarming but the impact can be so devastating to those affected. I recently saw this interview that is obviously dated from James Dobson interviewing Ted Bundy shortly before his execution. My hope in sharing this is not to create a fear in you as I believe fear should be reserved for God alone, but to create an awareness and an openness for such a destructive and dark behavior that is far more prevalent that any of us want to admit.

In responding to this video, what I really want to make you aware of is one of the greatest online resources/websites that I am aware of: xxxchurch.com. This website provides great information, resources, and programs to help those affected by pornography. I hope you will take a few minutes and get to know this website/ministry a little better and maybe share it with others.
